I sent my reply to DFW this morning. It seems a tad rediculous to trade away a July beach and boat fishery that hundreds if not thousands (during a pink year) participate in for a April blackmouth fishery that only a few anglers target? confused

I've always thought how harmful could it be if salmon harvesting was always allowed on beaches all year around. This would take alot of the pressures off of overcrowded piers like Seacrest in July/August.

I encourage everyone who reads this to e-mail DFW and let them now your thoughts.

Thanks Jerry Garcia and Sparkey for keeping us aware of this issue.
